Each Filter works with Events and Objects simultaneously. For example: if the filter counts how many clicks were made on the particular button in Events, the same filter will show how many people clicked the button in Objects section.
Set up for Object filter that calculates the average age of people with mobsted.com email:
2. Set up for Event filter that calculates the number of clicks on the button with the BackendName "updatePhone" within last 7 days:
______________________
Filter can contain either AND or OR condition. In order to have OR + AND conditions use hashtags within new filter.
Example: we created the filter that will display everyone with email on Mobsted OR Outlook domain, and who has US phone number.
First filter will contain the required Email condition, we will name it as Email.
2. Second filter will contain the required phone condition merged (AND operator) with the Email filter above.
